Quotations for Today
Jacques Martin Barzun
The test and the use of man's education is that he finds pleasure in the exercise of his mind.
Arthur Baer
Alimony is like buying oats for a dead horse.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.
Lyndon B. Johnson
War is always the same. It is young men dying in the fullness of their promise. It is trying to kill a man that you do not even know well enough to hate. Therefore, to know war is to know that there is still madness in the world.
Maya Angelou
I answer the heroic question 'Death, where is thy sting' with 'It is here in my heart and mind and memories.'
Virginia
These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.
Larry Riemersma
As a sinner I could not please God, I could not neutralize or pay for my own sin. But when God justified me by His grace He went on record declaring me righteous. He didn't wave a magic wand and declare me to be innocent. His holiness would not permit it. A basis for declaring me righteous was needed. The ground upon which my justification is built is the substitutionary death of His son, Jesus Christ. The shedding of blood demonstrates the righteousness of God 'that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus' (Rom. 326 NKJV). What a marvelous plan Man's plan of salvation by good works is offensive to God and to anyone who has been saved by God's grace.
